Backgroud At present, there is no unified standard for the detection of glufosinate ammonium and three metabolites in urine, which affects the accurate assessment of occupational exposure risk to a certain extent. It is of great significance to establish a rapid and effective inspection method to ensure occupational safety and public health. Objective To establish an ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for simultaneous determination of glufosinate ammonium and three metabolites in urine. Methods The effects of dilution solvents and dilution ratios on the response values of glufosinate ammonium and three metabolites were compared, and the retention capacities of solid phase extraction columns for targets as well as the effects of chromatographic columns and mobile phase systems on chromatographic peaks were analyzed. Samples were quantified by matrix effect matching external standard method. Accuracy of the method was evaluated by recovery rate of standard addition, and precision of the method was evaluated by relative standard deviation of intra-day and inter-day measurements. Urine samples of 30 health individuals were collected to evaluate the application of the method. Results The urine samples were diluted with 0.2 mL water and 0.6 mL acetonitrile, purified by HLB solid phase extraction columns, and separated by Dikma Polyamino HILIC columns, and gradient elution was carried out with 0.5 mmol·L−1 ammonium acetate and 0.1% ammonia water as mobile phase, which achieved a good peak shape and mass spectrum response. The linearities of the four target compounds were good in the range of 0.5-50 ng·mL−1, and the correlation coefficients (r) were all greater than 0.998. The detection limits were 0.56-2.86 μg·L−1, the quantification limits were 1.87-29.54 μg·L−1, and the recovery rates of standard addition ranged from 75.0% to 103.6%, The relative standard deviations of intra-batch and inter-batch were from 2.5% to 8.1% and from 4.3% to 9.3% respectively. The method was applied to detect 30 urine samples of subjects, and no target was detected. Conclusion The method is simple, rapid, sensitive, and accurate. It is suitable for the determination of glufosinate ammonium and its metabolites in human urine without derivatization.

To compare the differences in clinical features and treatment choices between peripheral spondyloarthritis(pSpA) and axial spondyloarthritis(axSpA), and better understand the clinical characteristics and medication needs of pSpA. Our study is a retrospective cohort study. The patients who first visited the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2016 and December 2022 and were diagnosed with axSpA or pSpA according to the classification criteria established by the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society were selected as the study subjects. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, and treatment information of these patients were obtained through the electronic medical records management system and the intelligent management system for spondyloarthritis. The research compared the distribution of swollen and tender joints between pSpA and axSpA patients, as well as that between pSpA1(excluding patients with psoriatic arthritis) and axSpA patients. Additionally, we analyzed differences in clinical features and treatment options among these groups. A total of 1639 patients were included in the study, of which 184 had pSpA(including 97 with psoriatic arthritis), and 1455 had axSpA. Compared to axSpA patients, pSpA patients had fewer male patients(62.5% pSpA patients tend to have a later onset of disease, a lower proportion of male and HLA-B27 positivity, more associated peripheral arthritis, dactylitis, psoriasis, and a more common family history of psoriasis. The disease burden in terms of treatment for pSpA is not lower than that for axSpA. Due to the presence of more peripheral symptoms, psoriasis, and higher levels of inflammation, they also require more medication.

{L-End}Objective To analyze the prevalence of multi-site work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and their influencing factors among workers in the chemical pharmaceutical industry. {L-End}Methods A total of 563 workers from three chemical pharmaceutical factories in Guangzhou City were selected as the research subjects using the judgment sampling method. The prevalence of multi-site WMSDs in the past 12 months was investigated using the electronic questionnaire of Chinese Version of Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire. {L-End}Results The prevalence of multi-site WMSDs in the research subjects was 30.0% (169/563). The results of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that workers who smoked regularly/frequently and those who had their hands above shoulder level for long periods of time had a lower risk of multi-site WMSDs than those who never/occasionally smoked (all P≤0.05). Workers with a high school, secondary specialty, college degree, or above had a lower risk of multi-site WMSDs than those with a middle school education or below (all P<0.05). The longer the daily working hours, the higher the risk of multiple WMSDs (all P<0.05). Workers with regular/frequently work shifts had a lower risk of multi-site WMSDs than those with none/occasional work shifts (P<0.05). {L-End}Conclusion The prevalence of multi-site WMSDs among workers in the chemical pharmaceutical industry is relatively high. The influencing factors are individual factors, unreasonable work organization and poor ergonomics factors.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Sanhuang Tangshenkang on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in the bone tissue of diabetic rats. MethodA high-sugar and high-fat diet was administered for 4 weeks, along with intraperitoneal injection of freshly prepared 2% streptozotocin (pH 4.5) at 30 mg·kg-1 body weight to induce a diabetes model in rats. The rats with diabetes were randomly divided into model group, low- and high-dose Sanhuang Tangshenkang groups (12.8, 38.4 g·kg-1), and Gushukang group (1.8 g·kg-1) according to the blood glucose level. Rats of the same age were fed on a regular diet and assigned to the control group. After 12 weeks of respective treatments with drugs or physiological saline, the fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels of the rats were measured using an automated biochemical analyzer. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect fasting serum insulin (FINS), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) levels. Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) was used to scan the femurs of rats to observe bone tissue microstructure and measure bone mineral density (BMD). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and safranin O/fast green staining were performed to observe pathological changes in the femoral bone tissue. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot were used to detect the expression of Wnt3a, low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP-5), and β-catenin proteins. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed a significant increase in FBG, FINS, and TRAP levels (P<0.01), a significant decrease in BALP level (P<0.01), a significant decrease in BMD (P<0.01), and disorganized, elongated, and sparse bone trabecular structures with fractures and increased lipid droplets. Additionally, the expression of Wnt3a, LRP-5, and β-catenin proteins decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the low- and high-dose Sanhuang Tangshenkang groups showed a reduction in FBG and an increase in BALP (P<0.05). The low-dose Sanhuang Tangshenkang group also exhibited a decrease in FINS (P<0.05). All treatment groups showed a significant decrease in TRAP (P<0.01), varying degrees of improvement in BMD (P<0.05, P<0.01)), increased and denser bone trabeculae with more regular arrangements and reduced lipid droplets, and improved bone microstructure morphology. The average optical density values of Wnt3a, LRP-5, and β-catenin proteins were significantly increased in all drug-treated groups (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the expression of Wnt3a, LRP-5, and β-catenin proteins was elevated (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionSanhuang Tangshenkang may regulate the imbalance of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by increasing the expression of Wnt3a, LRP-5, and β-catenin proteins in bone tissue, which may promote bone formation, reduce bone resorption, and lower blood glucose levels, thereby achieving the effect of preventing and treating diabetic osteoporosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of using free bilateral anterolateral thigh flaps(ALTF) in series to repair large area soft tissue defects of forearm.Methods:The clinical data of 11 patients with large soft tissue defects of forearm admitted in the Department of Plastic(Repair and Reconstruction) Surgery, Lishui Hospital of Zhejiang University from March 2014 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 8 males and 3 females. Aged 36 to 68 years old, with an average of 48 years old. VSD treatment was performed after debridement, and until fresh removed 3 to 5 days after the operation. Until the wound was fresh. The wound was repaired with free bilateral ALTF in series until fresh. The size of the forearm wound was 18 cm×15 cm-28 cm×13 cm. The cut area of a single flap was 10 cm×8 cm-20 cm×13 cm. The series of bilateral flaps: One of the flaps was used as the proximal flap, and its vascular pedicle was anastomosed with the arteries and veins of the recipient area. The other flap was used as the distal flap, and the arteries and veins between the 2 ALTFs on both sides were anastomosed. The vascular pedicle beyond the distal flap was ligated or anastomosed to the distal end of the ulnar artery or the distal end of the radial artery. The flap and the surrounding skin of the recipient area were sutured immediately. The donor sites of the flap was closed directly. Periodic and regular outpatient follow-up was performed after operation and the clinical efficacy was analyzed.Results:All the flaps successfully survived after the surgery. The postoperative follow-up lasted for 6-18 months, 12 months in average. The flaps survived well with good soft texture, without swelling, the capillary reaction time was normal, without surface ulceration, in rosy colour and restored protective sensations. The hand function of the affected limb recovered well. The wound at donor sites healed well without complications. At the last follow-up, the hand function of the affected limb was evaluated by the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, the result was 7 in excellent and 4 in good. The patients were satisfied with the flap and the therapeutic effect.Conclusion:The free bilateral ALTF in series can be used to repair a wound surface with large area, and the donor site can be closed at the same time. It is an effective method to repair large soft tissue defect of forearm.

Genomic studies of cancer cell alterations,such as mutations,copy number variations(CNVs),and translocations,greatly promote our understanding of the genesis and development of cancers.However,the 3D genome architecture of cancers remains less studied due to the complexity of cancer genomes and technical difficulties.To explore the 3D genome structure in clin-ical lung cancer,we performed Hi-C experiments using paired normal and tumor cells harvested from patients with lung cancer,combining with RNA sequenceing analysis.We demonstrated the feasibility of studying 3D genome of clinical lung cancer samples with a small number of cells(1×104),compared the genome architecture between clinical samples and cell lines of lung cancer,and identified conserved and changed spatial chromatin structures between normal and cancer sam-ples.We also showed that Hi-C data can be used to infer CNVs and point mutations in cancer.By integrating those different types of cancer alterations,we showed significant associations between CNVs,3D genome,and gene expression.We propose that 3D genome mediates the effects of cancer genomic alterations on gene expression through altering regulatory chromatin structures.Our study highlights the importance of analyzing 3D genomes of clinical cancer samples in addition to cancer cell lines and provides an integrative genomic analysis pipeline for future larger-scale studies in lung cancer and other cancers.

Objective:To observe the effects of T-2 toxin on expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and HGF receptor (C-Met) in articular cartilage and epiphyseal cartilage of rats under low selenium condition.Methods:Twenty-four healthy male SD rats weighted 60-80 g were randomly divided into conventional diet group (selenium content of 101.5 μg/kg) and low-selenium diet group (selenium content of 1.1 μg/kg), with 12 rats in each group. After 30 days of feeding, the conventional diet group was further divided into conventional group and T-2 toxin group (100 μg·kg -1·d -1), and the low-selenium diet group was further divided into low-selenium group and low-selenium+T-2 toxin group (100 μg·kg -1·d -1), with 6 rats in each group. After 30 days of feeding, the rats were sacrificed and the cartilage of knee joint was taken, the morphological changes of knee articular cartilage and epiphyseal cartilage were observed by HE staining under light microscope. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of HGF and C-Met in knee articular cartilage and epiphyseal cartilage, and positive expression rates of HGF and C-Met were calculated. Results:Under light microscope, chondrocytes of articular cartilage and epiphyseal cartilage in low-selenium+T-2 toxin group were sparse, and the necrosis and structural area were found in the deep layer, and the extracellular matrix of chondrocytes in the region was degraded and light stained, and proliferating granulation tissue was visible nearby. The positive expression rates of HGF in articular cartilage [(21.97 ± 6.90)%, (49.41 ± 8.24)%, (76.39 ± 5.88)%] and epiphyseal cartilage [(23.36 ± 12.49)%, (58.43 ± 14.48)%, (66.59 ± 10.83)%] of rats in low-selenium, T-2 toxin and low-selenium+T-2 toxin groups were higher than those in conventional group [(9.13 ± 6.01)%, (11.14 ± 4.67)%, P < 0.05]. The positive expression rates of C-Met in articular cartilage [(25.34 ± 7.53)%, (58.21 ± 12.54)%, (81.46 ± 7.89)%] and epiphyseal cartilage [(35.21 ± 4.71)%, (40.84 ± 2.03)%, (49.41 ± 6.29)%] of rats in low-selenium, T-2 toxin and low-selenium+T-2 toxin groups were higher than those in conventional group [(11.21 ± 5.11)%, (12.12 ± 4.71)%, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:T-2 toxin may affect the expression of HGF and C-Met in articular cartilage and epiphyseal cartilage of rats under low selenium condition.

Objective:To explore the effective ability and strategy of improving in-hospital emergency in large general hospitals through investigating and analyzing the epidemiological characteristics and outcomes of patients treated by rapid response team (RRT) in the Fourth People's Hospital of Shenyang.Methods:The clinical data of 145 patients treated by RRT in the Fourth People's Hospital of Shenyang from April 1st to June 30th in 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data including gender, age, RRT response time, disease type, direct cause of RRT initiation, the incidence of cardiac arrest, intensive care unit (ICU) admission rate and outcome were statistically analyzed. The correlation between indicators was analyzed by Pearson correlation. Pareto diagram was used to analyze the direct cause of RRT initiation.Results:A total of 145 patients were treated by RRT within 3 months. The ratio of male ( n = 85) to female ( n = 60) was 1.42∶1. The age of patients treated by RRT was (72.83±14.84) years old, and the response time was (3.27±1.42) minutes. The incidence of cardiac arrest was 23.4% (34/145), and the ICU admission rate was 29.7% (43/145). The hospital mortality was 40.0% (58/145), and the rescue success rate was 60.0% (87/145). Correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the incidence of cardiac arrest and hospital mortality ( r = 0.545, P < 0.01). According to the disease type of patients treated by RRT analysis, respiratory system diseases ( n = 44, 30.3%) accounted for the most, followed by circulatory system diseases ( n = 43, 29.7%), nervous system diseases ( n = 25, 17.2%), digestive system diseases ( n = 19, 13.1%), trauma ( n = 5, 3.4%), endocrine system diseases ( n = 3, 2.1%), urinary system diseases ( n = 2, 1.4%) and others ( n = 4, 2.8%). Further analysis showed that patients aged between 85 years old and 94 years old were prone to the respiratory system diseases, accounting for 48.5% (16/33) of the population in this age group, while the cardiovascular system diseases were the most common in patients older than 55 years old, accounting for 31.0% (40/129) of the population in this age group. Pareto diagram showed that the percentages of direct causes of RRT initiation ranked from high to low, the cumulative percentage of pneumonia ( n = 30, 20.7%), acute myocardial infarction ( n = 26, 17.9%), stroke ( n = 20, 13.8%), septic shock ( n = 14, 9.7%), heart failure ( n = 10, 6.9%), respiratory and cardiac arrest ( n = 9, 6.2%), and gastrointestinal bleeding ( n = 7, 4.8%), which were the main direct causes of RRT initiation with a total of 80%. Conclusions:Respiratory system and circulatory system diseases are the main causes for RRT treatment in first-aid patients in the Fourth People's Hospital of Shenyang. The hospital mortality significantly increases once patients suffered cardiac arrest. The RRT can provide effective intervention earlier and faster, and establish a complete RRT emergency strategy, which is helpful to improve the in-hospital emergency ability in large general hospitals.
